Everyone should be proud of the team today as hard as it is to take.
In the end a lack of experience probably cost us as did last time against Cardiff but I think Watford deserved it with their quality.
I hope knockeart isn't branded the new kermorgant, he had a wonderful game and we shouldn't be too hard on him. Nugent really should have stepped up for that penalty, knockeart is just a kid still learning the ropes, but still that's football.
It's going to be a nervous few weeks for nigel, the remit has not been achieved and the owners will be considering that we were top 2 in January. The fact is the way these kids approached the play offs and their attitudes have been first class and they will get better next year.
Whether Nigel will still lead them I'm not sure, where this leads us financially we don't know, what we do know is they gave their all today
So proud

We won't get relegated, we will finish 10th-16th and clough won't make the turn of the year as manager. Forest won't get promoted, they may start well but they'll bottle it, as per billys usual way. However playing teams with 11 men on the pitch has proved tricky for them, so who knows. Leicester, depends if your chairman schwreekanadamapananadan can find a capable manager and a loophole to enable him to buy his way out of the championship.
One things for sure, living in loughborough means most of my mates are leicester fans, so I'll certainly be having a laugh at their expense. Thanks for providing both highlights of derbys season, goosing the dogs last minute at their shed, thendoing a brentford and goosing yourselves last minute on the telly.

This Kane changed the game last week and Dyer who was brilliant wasn't We just weren't good enough as we haven't been for the second half of the season.
Knockert wanted the pen and nugent does not end of Sad that Pearson could not talk to radio leicester but his suming up on Sky was right.

3 years ago in Cardiff I felt we'd given everything all season and luck hadn't gone our way. This time having just got home from the match I feel massively frustrated. Not just with events today but over the season as a whole. It's a huge opportunity missed considering how we were placed in Jan and with the small number of points needed for promotion.
Where this leaves Pearson I don't know? Half of me feels I'd like to see him grow this young team and have some continuity but the other half thinks he's had 2 1/2 goes at it now and has made some shocking judgements calls this year.
With FFP around the corner it's going to be a difficult summer.

Commiserations guys, Forest fans know what you are going through (only too well!), but I'm glad in a way because we get to play you again next season. Hopefully we'll both be better for a Summer break, and I'd love it if we were both slugging it out for top spot next time round!

I am proud of the way we played and nearly made it, I'm proud of all the LCFC players, staff and Manager.
Thanks for a great season!

Very proud of the team today. Knocky had a great game and I won't go overboard about his miss. It shouldn't have been a penalty in the first place but to miss the pen and the follow up and then to concede within 20 seconds is very, very hard to take.
Overall though, Watford were the better side over the two legs.
